    Playing small-ball with Harkless and Aminu and without a Center?
    It can work

    I don't think we're changing anything. We just need to hit more shots and play better defense.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    Do you put Crabbe or Henderson in the starting lineup? My pick would be Crabbe.

    One move that I wouldn't mind seeing.... start Ed Davis.

    Let Kaman use up 6 fouls on Bogut and Green in 4 minutes and make sure they end up on the floor each time...

    Play defense and make FT's. They'll never see it coming

    Stop Steph Curry from coming into the game.

    Down 3-1, since it's very unlikely to win the series, give Vonleh, Connaughton and Montero a small taste of Playoff basketball.

    It isn't like our Centers are scoring much anyway

    We use both. Also i wouldn't rule out Montero or Caunaghton if needed

    This isn't really a strategy, but do we need to bitch to the refs more? I hate it when other teams do it. Play the game and stop acting like a crybaby. But, refs seem to have really thick skin and it appears to be working for other teams.

    You've got to make your free throws.

    The difference in Game 4.

    They're going to monitor Curry's minutes, but he'll play the fourth if we're close or winning. We have to play him hard and try to get out without fans killing us if Curry gets hurt.

    I agree, this is the only thing that will work. We need to take the same mentality as the clippers did in game 6. We have nothing to lose so we might as well run and gun. Tonight there is no bad shot for Dame. Either he is on, or he is not. It's our only chance.

    And get back on D. No easy layups for the Warriors.

    I actually think we have a decent chance in this game, because I don't think Dame is going to want to go out without a strong fight in his hometown and losing two games in a row. I think you might see a heroic effort from Dame tonight.

    You don't even need to exercise more. I haven't done a lick of exercise in 2016.
